Attraversiamo

Times are hard. Just keep swimming

The saddest part? Realizing that you never really even stood a chance

I think im done

So tired of all this. So tired of all these petty earthly attachments

His name is Jorge Steven Acuña (a.k.a. JSA(his initials). He is a friend of many, son of Jorge Acuña and Blanca Susana Mendez Pinto, model citizen of his community, Germantown, MD, and a stellar, full time student at Montgomery College. His goals and dreams are to attend Johns Hopkins University in order to become a surgeon.

But on the morning of March 7th, 2012, him and his family were taken into custody by Immigration Enforcement and Removal. And his only crime? Staying in America in hopes of a better life.

When they came here, they came to the United States with a military visa and in search for a political asylum. When they found one, they applied as a family, however, by the 4th time, were denied and given a deportation order in 2008. With already having their life set up and their son being 12 years old, they did not follow through but still stayed, persevered as a family and strive for a better future, despite the setback and the anticipations of the unknown. Even with limitations, they were active, functioning and succeeding members of their community. All found jobs while still being conscious of their risk of being discovered.

Now, they are held in the Snow Hill Detention Center like vicious criminals with maximum security facing deportation to the country of Colombia with a possible 10-15 years exile from the United States.

You may or may not know him, but him and his family do not deserve this. And his case might relate to you or someone you know.

There are petitions, Facebook groups, Twitter trends, posters created to help his family and to help his family live the dreams they have in America. Please, take one minute out of your time to help a great friend, son, student to see light and accomplish his dreams through signing the petition, joining the Facebook Group, tweeting #JSA.

"If you want to perceive and understand objectively, just don’t allow yourself to be confused by people. Detach from whatever you find inside or outside yourself and only then will you attain liberation. When you are not entangled in things, you pass through freely to autonomy."

For some people you will be enough, for others you won’t. As simple as that. Live to please yourself and yourself only.. and you won’t have regrets that you were living the wrong the way.

“So today I was in Hallmark buying my mom a Happy Birthday card when I noticed this old man standing in front of the Valentines card section contemplating which one to get. I decide to go over and I ask him “Are you getting a Valentine’s Day for your wife?” in which he replies ‘No my wife died 3 years ago from breast cancer but I still buy her roses and a card and bring them to her grave to prove to her that she was the only one that will ever have my heart.”
